Beyond liberal governance? Resilience as a field of transition

According to governmentality studies, resilience, like any other neoliberal policy framework, reproduces a paternalising dichotomy between capable Northern policy elites and incapable Southern actors. In contrast to this popular governmentality reading, this article argues that resilience thinking is actually geared towards critiquing international policy expertise and the privileged knowledge position of international interveners. Rather than imposing particular policy options from the top down, resilience thinking actively seeks out vernacular, non-liberal forms of governing. However, the drive to critique domineering neoliberal policy initiatives does not usher in a post-liberal paradigm. Instead, this article demonstrates how resilience works as a field of transition on which the retreat from liberal forms of governing is mediated discursively without giving up entirely on the notion of normative, law-based security. These insights are drawn out with reference to crime-related US security interventions in the Americas.

超越自由治理?复原力是过渡领域

根据政府性研究,韧性与任何其他新自由主义政策框架一样,在有能力的北方政策精英与无能的南方参与者之间再现了家长式的二分法。与这种流行的政府性读法相反,本文认为,应变能力思维实际上是在争取国际政策专业知识和国际干预者的特权知识地位。弹性思考不是从上至下强加特定的政策选择,而是积极寻找本土的,非自由的治理形式。但是,批判新自由主义政策倡议的霸权并没有带来自由后的范式。反而,本文说明了复原力是如何作为过渡领域工作的,在该领域中,从自由执政形式的撤退是通过调解进行调解的,而没有完全放弃基于法律的规范安全性的概念。这些见解是参考美国与犯罪相关的美国安全干预措施得出的。
